Champurrado
Champurrado is a warm embrace in a cup, a traditional Mexican hot chocolate that combines rich, velvety chocolate with the comforting texture of masa harina. Infused with aromatic cinnamon and a hint of vanilla, this drink is perfect for cozy evenings or festive celebrations. Originating from the indigenous peoples of Mexico, champurrado has evolved through generations and is often enjoyed during Día de los Muertos and Christmas, making it a beloved staple in Mexican households.
